curly hair
wrote a book about her experiences as a games journalist
told people on twitter she was glad they lost their jobs etc
Donβt know who you mean but that sounds like a really lovely and upstanding member of society.
right Leigh Alexander
that was the name
had to look it up
anyhow
you guys are making the typical mistake though with "how to make video games"
Cuz what you guys said is basically:
"The key to making a good game, is to make a good game"
It starts with,
1. What game do you want to make in broad terms? (FPS? RPG? RTS? etc) doesn't have to fit the category but defined
2. What is a good sellable Idea? (Some unique gameplay things) that other games don't have so you stand out
3. What is the experience i want to give to people? (Good story? solid gameplay? amazing graphics?) something that makes the user get horny

yes
funny though, she's the definition of an artsy person who didn't achieve in life, so settled and got salty
Cuz she was a games journalist / critic
But she hates video games
Heres that story yes
As the story goes, "Tale of Tales" hired Leigh to promote their game "Sunset". After getting all her jurno friends from sjw sites to give them free press (she bribed at least one of them via Patreon), having them take up ad on RockPaperShotgun and getting them heavily featured in "Raise of the Indies" (an indie sjw propaganda documentary), the game flopped. Advertising to sjws and allegedly even bribing Anita Sarkeesian herself to promote them (and getting nothing in return including their money) was pointless because they criticize games but don't buy them, and everyone else who was tricked by these sites into buying Gone Home last time knew better than to fall for it again and buy what was literally a house cleaning simulator.
The company ended up having to be shut down because of major losses caused by Leigh's failure and their own financial mismanagement leading to the game only selling 4,000 copies (including sales and people who already bought it by donating to the KickStarter) and the creator went on an insane rant all over the internet about how much he hates capitalism and gamers for refusing to buy his propaganda.
One of the head lawyers at the firm i work at was a marketing lawyer that failed ...we call him jabba the hutt cuz he actually looks like jabba
@Dr.Wol yeah she def part of the gamergate shit , this is what started it
a 40 sec guide to that flop π
"This game is so pretentious it just gave me a film school degree" π
but most important fact about video games
They're just hit and miss, all you can do is increase your odds by trying to make the game fell fulfilling for the person
And don't shit on your actual audience π
